    OPPOSITION TO LEADED AVIATION FUEL PROVISIONS IN H.R. 3935, THE 
     SECURING GROWTH AND ROBUST LEADERSHIP IN AMERICAN AVIATION ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ZOE LOFGREN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 20, 2023

  Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, I voted in favor of H.R. 3935, the Securing 
Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act to reauthorize 
and improve important aviation programs in order to move the measure 
forward to the Senate. While there was much good in the bill, I opposed 
provisions in the underlying bill calling for continued use of leaded 
aviation fuel. I was pleased to work with the House Transportation and 
Infrastructure Committee on securing improvements to this language in 
the manager's amendment, which we believe will protect my constituents 
from exposure to leaded fuel used by small aircraft. The Senate should 
further improve these provisions on continued use of leaded avgas 
before the bill comes back to the House for negotiations.
